Z getting ghettofied
 

This is just for a rough idea of how it's gonna look. Here's a lowdown

I got busy with the body work or sort of ghetto style! Zip ties and masking tape. Removed some shitty trim on the side of the car and it looks so much better. I wasn't sure how to mount the flares. Right on lip of the fenders or over the edge. The wheels look super tucked with it mounted on the lip but looks kinda weird... i dunno :S It matched up pretty well on the lip but something just wasn't right. I'm retard and smoking crack...butt crack that is. :6 It just started to rain otherwise I'd mount these fuckers on and flat black the spoiler. The spoiler is getting a nice helping of fiberglass to hold it on besides just some nuts and bolts. This isn't gonna be some showcar so I could care less about that it's not perfect. I may give it a rattle can paint job since I have quite abit of holes to fill in and paint it later. I have these that I was planning on using for it also but the volvo needs some basic stuff like a new CV joint and some other little things. Damn daily drivers! Only RHB5's but lag would be pretty minimal. Maybe a little later I'll pick another pair up and go forth with it. :-\

so how long till its on the road with some vids? ;D i love datsuns

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

I drove it yesterday around acouple of block since my turn signals don't work, no seat belts and I don't have insurance on it yet. Thats just an accident waiting to happen. It fired right up after tossing the jump pack on it since the optima that was in it was totally dead so it's getting charged up as we speak. It sounded so nice and felt good to shift since the brick is auto.

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

Why? ???

pics of the spoiler?

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

Sounds fun ;D mine was just the opposite, was a turbo350 tranny with a shift kit and chirped the tires shifting everytime, started up every time unless it was hot and on a hill slanting forwards

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

Why what? Did you think I said the Z was an auto? The brick as in my volvo is auto. And the spoiler I mean as in front spoiler or if you want to call it a bumper but it's not really a bumper or even a skin since the bumper is just metal bar that sticks out and is long gone before I even got the car.

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

i think its technicaly supposed to be a "front air damn" but eh, i think i may have had the same one only black that i got at a datsun meet

lookin good so far in any case, those flares i think are a bit over-done.. your gonna need some meaty tires for that rear end if you want traction (although your manual so you probably have better control then i did lol) did you end up sticking with the R-180 or switch to a R-200?

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

it's just got the stock open diff. :-\ It's my way of conserving rubber when I peel out.

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

cool car i have a 75 280z..the first year it was fuel injected...its a wireing nightmare...but i plan on doing a complete restore after my civic is done being boosted...i have the msa front air dam the one without the brake ducts..it looks really good...i like your car, nice zg fender flares how much did they run you?

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

I don't even remember. I think 2 something from MSA.

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

looks awesome, cant wait to see it done!

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

just dont do it too often with the stock diff or you'll have a whine and the a boom pretty soon :l

im hopeing to get another Z soon as well, i actualy found a 280ZX about 20 minutes from me but i dont like the lines as much as i do the 260's and 240's

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

damn now i'm contemplating if i should mod the body of my Z. i've been back and forth about keeping it original, or modding the ---- out of it. yours looks nice. is that original green?

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

Yup. all original paint. I found a lighter tea green that came on the 260's that I like. It'll stay green when it gets painted. I debated for awhile too on to keep it stock or do some body mods to it. The spoiler was made for a 240/260 since you can see the cutouts for the turn signals there. I'm not a big fan of the grill mounted 280 signals so thats why I chose the earlier model.

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

Are those home depot side flares? looks like something from the garden department ;)

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

Hey it may say ghettofied but I'm not that ghetto! lol. I'll leave that up to you EF guy to use for your front lips. These are ZG fender flare reproduction pieces. Their actually pretty nice pieces made from nice molds and good fiberglass cloth. Not the angel hair stuff or anything like that.

Re: Z getting ghettofied
 

I quick put a coat of paint on the airdam and riveted on the flares. Found some body filler on the car when I was drilling holes :-\ I took off the side molding too which was a big eye sore for me that I absolutely hated. I'm thinking of giving it a rattle can paint job and filling alot of holes and fixing some rust just to make it not look like it was shot in a driveby by buckshot. lol. Tossed on pretty much everything I had besides the suspension. That will come this weekend since I have off for 4 days. 8) I still need to get some 240-260 turn signals since they mount where the big slots in the airdam under the headlights instead of in the grill like it was before. I didn't rivet the last spot on the flare where the airdam meets the fender since thats all gonna get molded together so it'll flow together more.
